The YHCT were delighted to award £8000 to St Thomas at Greetland towards the restoration of the West Window. In 2021 an inspection of the church highlighted work was needed to strengthen the stone columns. The storms in January 2022 then caused more damage and made the window unsafe and a fundraising campaign began. The funding awarded by the YHCT will help ensure the repairs can be undertaken and the window restored to its former glory.
The church puts on the very special annual Lights of Love service, which has been running for over 10 years. Set up by a local family who lost their child, this poignant event sees tea lights placed on every grave in the graveyard and lit up for an outdoor service, to reflect and remember all the people buried there.
